Miguel and Jeovana had a desire to open the first bilingual auto repair shop in Durango.

We always had a dream of owning our own shop. The First Southwest Community Fund gave us the strength and courage to go out on our own.

Through the Fortaleza Fund, they were able to secure funding for working capital and inventory. Since opening they have received nothing less than five-star reviews.

Our culture and heritage shows up in our business by attracting Hispanic people to the shop where we speak Spanish, and knowing we are able to communicate with them. Durango is a small community and there is no other shop that speaks both languages. It helps bring people in.
